@ Re-thinking the Human Factor™ one of our core beliefs is the value that different ways of thinking, different diciplines, different skills and different experiences can contribute to addressing some of the biggest challenges faced in the information and cyber security industry. What skills, knowledge and experience do you think we are missing in our industry? How do you think it would change your approach to information and cyber security? What could your organisation do today to engage with those who think differently? Recognising how diversity and a cross industry, cross disciplinary approach can benefit your organisation and reduce risk is becoming an increasingly prominent talking point and one we should embrace. We aim to bring this belief to life as we build products and services that will truly help you 're-think' the human factor and deepen your understanding of human awareness, behaviour and culture and not just survive but thrive. #CyberSecurity #Diversity #rhf #RethinkingtheHumanFactor #HumanFactorsRisk #HumanRiskManagment
Could you move into cybersecurity? My latest BBC article interviews people who have transitioned from other careers, bringing much-needed skills. Thanks to Leila Powell, Calum Baird, Rebecca Taylor and Amanda Finch for sharing their insights. https://lnkd.in/eFBh6EPF
CEO at Re-thinking the Human Factor™
2moA great article! I must admit to being biased here though. I trained in law, finance and marketing and found myself stepping into the fledgling information security industry 20+ years ago. I was definitely an outsider in almost everyway. But that, it turns out, was my strength. Seeing things differently provides perspective and challenges embedded assumptions which sometimes aren't based on facts. Here at RHF, we've championed the need for diversity in skills and experience to help re-think the human factor in different ways. One of the most obvious ways we've done this is our podcast guest policy. Our choice of podcast guests is a deliberate effort to introduce listeners to insights from outside of the information security industry. That's why 70% of our guests don't work in cyber security. They do interesting stuff like behavioural science, educational psychology, neuroscience, change management, speech writing, public health, internal communications, marketing, research, human resources, choice architecture, behavioural design and even designing vehicles to break the world land speed record. Now, I must get the article's author on our show to talk more!
